I've bought one of a previous correspondent's choices so let's see.

Others in the recently read pile are Mailman (J. Robert Lennon, who seems to want to buck the US penchant for a middle intial) which is weird and OK; The Train Was On Time (Heinrich Boll - soldier foresees his death); Leonard and Hungry Paul (Ronan Hessian - don't buy a book just because the title intrigues you). And I really should re-read A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters to see if it's still one of the best things I've ever read and the same with On The Road.
